This (the below quoted issue) is happening every time I visit now. Incredibly disruptive as I cannot view any post as I can't close the ad without it reloading itself and opening up the iPhone App Store app. It is not good for the product brand loyalty nor to site/forum encouraging more views.

A few things I have found by experimenting. It disappears if you enable an ad blocking app which confirms it is coming from a compromised advert.

Secondly, and I have no idea why, it only appears when I view FT using cellular data (Vodafone in my case), and never when I am using wifi. This isn't country specific as write this from Germany where it has been appearing too when connected to 4G.
